I haven't been watching much in terms of actual shows for a good while, then while listening to a podcast a host casually mentioned they had rewatched Chernobyl, how it still holds up, that there's a reason it got as much acclaim as it did, etc. So I thought I'd give it a go and wow, loved it (still one episode left to watch).
Had me thinking, what else have I missed out on? What are some "absolute cinema" TV shows that still hold up and and are considered must watch?
sg1, sga, maybe not SGU(sadly amazon cancelled the new series before it was fully conceptualized). more obscure shows like 4400, resident Alien(cancelled after season 4). castlevania the 1st series(2nd one is sucky).
for animes, evangelion(the old and rebuild versions), inuyasha the og series and final act(Yashime is fanfiction and very strange because it has a very groom-ing feature to it sesshomaru ends up marrying rin(whome he raised since childhood). blue gender, full metal alchemist, not BROTHEROOD.
sandman, good omens(sadly these are very short series) because of neil gaiman and netflix being super stingy. same goes with blood of zeus, so much more content than what is shown in 3 seasons, they had to rush the final season. if you can ignore the cheesey props, and some dialogue.
I guess one that I expected to see here is Sons of Anarchy. I thought it was great. I'm a little disappointed, but not surprised, that I don't see either Letterkenny or Shoresy on here right now.
Loudermilk was great.
For a new one: Widows Bay is really good so far!
It’s kinda weird funny horror / short stories
Absolutely loved widows bay! Cant wait to find out more in season 2

There are many very good series with more serious tone or complex story telling in this thread so I try to suggest two completely different series:
New Amsterdam is, on the first glance, a pretty standard hospital show but has a lot of social commentary and a diverse cast of very lovable characters with overarching storylines and lots of character development. Often it's kinda cliché but it manages to leave me bawling my eyes out almost every episode.
Virgin River is a romantic story about the inhabitants of a small town in Northern California. It's also often pretty cliché but has a nice rhythm of "exposing the characters to a problem" -> "drama!" -> "cliffhanger" - > "resolution".
"On the Air". There's only about 8 episodes though.
Yes, Chernobyl or Mr Inbetween.
